Thread Details

Welcome to the NEW Official Giant Food (DC, DE, MD, VA) Deals thread!

This thread is for the Giant Food stores located in Washington DC, Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia. For those in PA, WV, along the I-81 corridor (around Winchester to Waynesboro) in VA, and Hagerstown/Eldersburg, MD please check out the Giant of Carlisle PA based chain's SD thread, Official GiantPA (PA, MD, VA, and WV) Thread.

I'm a man with limited time and will do what I can to keep this thread going the best way I know how. I can't do it alone so... If ANYONE has an interest in helping to post flyer/coupon matchups (or even just one or the other) or just sweeping the posts for other matchups, sales, coupons, or catalina deals to copy to the Wiki with credits given to the posters, PLEASE let me know. You will be aptly recognized (repped) for your assistance.

I know we are going through some growing pains now that we have our own Giant thread. Let's work together to make this one of the top threads on SD!

Thanks,
Kevin

I haven't been to that store yet... I may go tomorrow. I was disappointed last week. They advertised gift cards up to $20 if you had 4 giant items and also free coupon booklets. Turns out they already gave out their booklets the week before and they didn't want to give out more than one $5 gift card per customer :dontknow;

I'll post if I get the ad before you. I suspect if that "Grand Opening" banner is visible, they'll have some bonus items. I don't get why they are hiding the bonus pages online, though. You'd think they'd want more people going to the grand opening stores?

that store totally sucks! If they advertized giving out the booklet they better give some to you On the GC thing...I think my advertisement page said it was a random thing that they would pick someone at checkout and see how many Giant products they had purchased and give $5 for each item to a max of 4 GC. Isn't false advertisement grounds for filing a formal complaint w/ the attorney general? Not sure if would escalate that much but you would definitely get what you deserve

I think I can make it to granny's store tomorrow. I'll see what's up.

ah, no, it's not worth escalating for me, this is generally a good store. I think they just did some of their grand opening sloppily rather than read what their weekly ad was advertising. They also put a high school kid in charge of the gc distribution so I'm guessing he was being a kid rather than diligently walking the store to give out gc. I did get one, though, but it was only after I asked.

Yeah I see what you mean. Better keep the better store on your good side too
I had a roll of PT but no one was around looking at my cart. I saw a pair of higher ups walkng around talking about the store and saying hello to customers...I should have asked them.

ETA: GB! I finally went back to the reopening store tonight and they still had store specific specials!!!
Best was 10/$4 Yoplait!!! I wish I hadn't used 10 of my simplait qs at another store but I still got 20 w/ what I had left and o to make it up.
They had other not so interesting things but I still got their $1.99/lb red globe grapes and $1.99 Giant brand california strawberries
Looked like they also had special price for Lean Cuisine, some meat..my brain is fuzzy sry. But anyway...check next week too in case.

If you are purchasing the covergirl products for this weeks gas point deal there is a new P&G rebate for $15 when you buy $50 worth of Venus, Secret, Olay, Pantene, Herbal Essences, Aussie, Head & Shoulders, Clairol, CoverGirl, Crest 3D White Whitestrips Products, Puffs, Ivory or Safeguard starting 10/14/12.

Has anyone tried the bogo Pantene Q at SCO (assuming the SCO reads the new barcodes)? Pantene is 2/$7, buy 4 get 20 gas points. Wondering if it automatically deducts $6.99 like at CVS. Although I shudder at the thought of lugging more Pantene into the house.........

Muir Glen Organic tomato paste 6 oz. cans rang up at $1.19 at the Stop and Shop in Arlington, MA today. There are three sources for coupons for $0.50 or $0.60/1 making this tomato paste free or $0.19 each.

-Make Caramel Apple

-sample apples and apple pies

-join us for crafts and games

I'm taking the kids so DH can rest... he threw his back tossing DS2.5 in the air

First time poster here, but I thought I would share some info. I just got started at couponing, but each week I'm getting better!

I'm not sure if all Giant's have this deal, but mine does this week. If you buy $20 worth of participating General Mills items, you get $7 off instantly. One of the items was Progresso Recipe Starters which they were selling for 3 for $4. With this coupon doubled, you can get each 3 cans for 10 cents.

Additionally, my Giant took the $7 off before deducting coupons, so if I had bought 15 cans for $0.50 total I could have gotten $6.50 worth of extra stuff and broken even. If I can get more coupons before Thursday I might give it a shot.

I tried this deal and after scanning $20 worth of product the $7 came off but as soon as I scanned the first coupon the $7 added back on and would not come off after coupons. Customer service told me it has to be after coupons and I stated the ad did not say that. They gave me the 7 for one order but I wanted to do more orders and they said they wouldn't.

I am not very clear on most couponing rules yet, so I've been erring on the side of caution. I saw that the fine print said the deal was after coupons, so we bought enough General Mills items to total more than $20 after our coupons just in case.

I saw the $7 come off instantly, so I thought maybe they didn't factor coupons in, but I guess that is not the case. That is unfortunate, but good to know for later!
